Chapter 259: Three Taboos in the Haunted House (4000 words)



"Boss, your haunted house is great." The man noticed that Chen Ge was looking at him and smiled politely. "When I was a kid, I was very timid and was often teased by the kids around here. Later, my brother took me into the haunted house to train my courage. Who would have thought that I would actually like this thrilling feeling."

"Then you will probably like the next scene even more." Chen Ge felt that this person was inexplicable, and he did not ask him what he wanted to say about the visit.

Is he too nervous?

Chen Ge did not expose this man. He always kept smiling in front of tourists, leaving a good impression of sunshine and warmth.

"Okay, it's time for us to enter." Chen Ge led the team in front and lifted the opaque curtain of the haunted house.

After entering the house, Chen Ge took out the waiver agreement and placed it in front of the seven tourists: "The two-star scene is different from the one-star horror scene. If you want to visit the two-star horror scene, you must sign the waiver agreement first."

He placed the printed agreement on the table. Three of the seven tourists signed without much hesitation, and the other two picked up the agreement and began to read it.

"Do I have to sign?" The ordinary-looking tourist seemed a little hesitant after learning that he had to sign, and he secretly glanced at another person.

Any accomplices?

Chen Ge stood calmly beside several tourists: "Of course, we originally had to sign an agreement for the one-star horror scene in our haunted house, but because there were too many tourists, we had to make a temporary adjustment."

"All right."

Chen Ge stared at the few people closely, not missing any of their subtle movements.

Today is the day for the park to regroup and a new beginning for the horror house, so nothing can go wrong.

The tourists signed one after another. The man with ordinary and unremarkable looks was called Wei Wu, and the tourist he secretly glanced at was called Kong Xiangming.

Compared with other tourists, these two people lacked excitement and were very low-key.

The remaining five tourists were relatively normal. Three of them were younger and looked like students, and the other two seemed to be a couple who were having a quarrel.

Chen Ge focused his main attention on these two people, but what he didn't expect was that when he received the waiver agreement, one of the female students actually called out his name.

"You are Chen Ge, the owner of the haunted house that Heshan mentioned in the forum, right?"

As soon as Chen Ge said the word, several tourists looked over.

"You still know Heshan? Are the three of you students from Jiujiang Forensic Medicine School?" Chen Ge withdrew his gaze unnoticeably. The two people who seemed to be members of the Ghost Story Association did not know that they had been discovered by Chen Ge.

"Heshan has become a celebrity in our school now." The girl has a ponytail, is slightly plump, and has very fair skin. She can't be said to be pretty, but she gives people a very clean feeling: "Many people from our school have visited here, and people are betting on which department can be the first to pass through your haunted house."

"It's not easy to clear my haunted house. You should first ask Heshan for advice." Chen Ge smiled and looked as kind as he could be.

"It's really not easy. There are six of us here to visit, and half of us are dead now." Next to the girl was a boy who looked a little thin. He seemed to like the girl a little. He was scared to the point of turning pale and his steps weak, but he still insisted on following the girl in to visit.

"Why say so much? If it doesn't work the first time, try a few more times. The same scene won't be scary after a few times." The last student to speak was a hot-tempered one who stood on the other side of the girl.

Chen Ge looked at the names on their waiver agreements and wrote down their names.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I won't waste any more words. The rules of the game are to find school badges. As long as the seven of you find seventeen school badges, you will pass the level." Chen Ge's eyes swept over the tourists and said, "In addition, I have launched a new service here. You can experience role-playing for only 20 yuan. You can choose from a variety of identities such as police, doctor, and reporter."

"Can I change clothes?" The girl was tempted, but was stopped by the thin boy.

"No, the three of us won't experience it."

"How about you guys?"

The couple was angry and ignored Chen Ge. The other two might be members of the Ghost Story Association and were not interested in playing the roles.

Chen Ge felt a little regretful, as he had originally wanted to try out the effect.

Opening the wooden board, Chen Ge escorted several tourists into the scene: "The scene on the left is the Muyang Middle School scene you want to visit. Don't go wrong. The scene on the right is called the Third Sick Building. It is our only three-star horror scene. It is very dangerous. Last time someone went in to visit, he was scared and sent to the hospital."

Chen Ge specifically mentioned the third ward, not because he was kind and wanted to warn tourists, but to test the reactions of the two suspicious persons.

If they were mentally ill people who escaped from Ward 3, they would definitely react when they heard the name Ward 3.

Several tourists nodded and promised not to run around. The expressions of the two suspicious tourists did not change. They seemed to be unaware of the existence of the third ward.

"Did I guess wrong?"

After giving a few more instructions, Chen Ge closed the board again and rushed to the monitoring room.

"Those two people are probably not the lunatics in the third ward, but they are most likely members of the Ghost Story Association." Chen Ge's eyes were calm, and the smile on his face had long disappeared: "Captain Yan found a photo of me entering New Century Park in Xu Tong's phone, which means that the members of the Ghost Story Association should know what I look like."

Last night, the ghost in number five was swallowed by Xu Yin, and the newcomer number 12, Lizhi, was also captured by the police. The most important thing is that Chen Ge heard the voice of the person behind the scenes on the phone.

Although there were only three short words, it was Chen Ge’s greatest gain that night.

"I've heard the voice of the Ghost Story Association's president somewhere before. He might be someone I know!"

Every member of the Ghost Story Association should have ghosts in them. They can only exert their greatest strength at night, but they choose to enter the haunted house during the day.

Chen Ge could see two pieces of information from their abnormal behavior.

First, the association president’s voice was exposed, and he was worried that Chen Ge would remember his true identity, so he wanted to hurry up and make Chen Ge shut up forever.

Second, they might be afraid of Zhang Ya. Ghosts are strongest after midnight and will be affected during the day, and Zhang Ya is no exception.

"They came not earlier, not later, but just in time for my opening. It seems they planned it carefully, blending in with the tourists, hoping that I would let my guard down."

The Ghost Story Association's plan was perfect, but man proposes, God disposes. They didn't expect that Chen Ge had seen Wei Wu in the surveillance screenshot of No. 5.

As a result, their plan was discovered by Chen Ge before it even started.

"I have to cooperate with them in this play. There are too many tourists and we cannot affect the normal business."

When the Ghost Story Association surrounded and killed the thin ghost in Haiming Apartment, they dispatched at least two people. Given how much they value Chen Ge, the number of people they sent this time would definitely not be less than that time.

"If you don't count me, there are twelve people in the Ghost Story Association. Zhu Xiu, No. 5, and No. 12 have been eliminated. Now there are nine left."

Chen Ge entered the monitoring room and looked at the computer screen in front of him: "After a while, there should be only seven left."

After dialing Xiao Gu's number, Chen Ge asked him to take off his skull-crushing doctor's uniform and enter the employee passage.

“Have those tourists been sent out?”

"They have found the exit. I feel like those people are not too afraid of me." Xiao Gu was a little frustrated: "I also tried very hard. Maybe I just don't have the talent."

"Don't give up so quickly." Chen Ge put on a full set of uniforms, and moved the corners of his mouth, revealing a terrifying smile on his human skin mask: "Are you interested in seeing how I play this role?"

"No." Gu Feiyu shook his head decisively. After Chen Ge put on the skull-crushing doctor's uniform, his entire temperament changed completely, as if the killer's uniform was tailor-made for him.

"If you have no interest, you should cultivate it. Come with me." Chen Ge grabbed Gu Feiyu's arm and dragged him underground.

After the wooden board was closed, the last ray of light disappeared. The underground scene was very dark and several tourists felt a little uncomfortable.

"Don't panic, everyone. Although this scene is extremely difficult, it is not impossible to clear it."

The medical student who acted so frail in front of Chen Ge seemed to be a different person after entering the scene, with a steady and calm voice.

He pulled out a notebook from his pocket and said, "I'll take thirty seconds of your time to tell you some things to note."

"Do we need to take notes when visiting a haunted house? What era is this? Can't we use our cell phones?" The woman in the couple said impatiently. She had a bad temper.

"That's exactly the first point I wanted to make." The thin boy pointed to the first item in his notebook: "Don't use your cell phone in Boss Chen's haunted house! It's best not to touch it at all!"

He raised the notebook in his hand and said, "You may not believe this, but every entry in this notebook is the experience gained by our seniors with blood and tears. It is one of the inheritances of our Jiujiang Medical College."

"I think you guys are stupid because of school."

The woman taunted, and the man behind her pulled her: "Nana, don't make trouble."

"Leave me alone!" The woman seemed to be in a bad mood. She shook off the man's hand and said, "Chen Zimin, we met in this haunted house two years ago. Now we are breaking up here. From now on, you go your way and I go mine."

"Can you please stop making trouble? I'm not accompanying you only because my career has reached a critical point and I dare not be distracted!"

"Am I being unreasonable? Do I want your money?" The woman wore short high heels and light makeup. Her clothes were not expensive, but they matched well. "Chen Zimin, when you were at your lowest point, I didn't leave you. I stayed with you for two whole years!"

"I know, Nana..."

"Stop talking. Things and people have changed, just like this haunted house. A lot has changed in two years." After the woman said this, she walked towards Muyang Middle School, and the man followed her.

"Please stay!" The thin boy grabbed the notes in his hand and said anxiously, "The second thing I want to say is don't disperse!"

He shouted loudly, but unfortunately the couple was angry and no one paid any attention to him.

“Yang Chen, don’t worry about them, we can get through it ourselves.” Two other students from Jiujiang Medical College came over.

“This scene requires the collaboration of multiple people to have a chance of completion, and we are few in number to begin with.” The thin boy named Yang Chen said with some regret: “There are only five of us left, and we absolutely cannot be separated anymore.”

He looked at Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming and said, "You two, are you interested in cooperating? We can only pass the level if we find seventeen school badges."

"Cooperation?" Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming looked at each other, and neither of them expressed their opinion.

“You don’t know how perverted the owner of this haunted house is. If you don’t work together, there is no chance of passing the level.” Yang Chen took out a hand-drawn drawing from his notebook, which had forty-one red crosses marked on it.

“This is our sincerity. Since the opening of the Muyang Middle School scene, seniors have been coming here to experience it. Everyone has found school signs in forty-one places.” Yang Chen showed the two people the hand-drawn map: “The location of the school signs is constantly changing, but there are also duplicates. First of all, we must search these forty-one places as quickly as possible.”

Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming were very interested in the map in Yang Chen's hand, but they didn't care about clearing the level.

"There's no problem with cooperation. It will benefit everyone." After a brief exchange of words, the two people who were suspected to be members of the Ghost Story Association agreed to cooperate with Yang Chen.

"Time is limited, let me allocate it."

"Two brothers, you take care of the ones on the left. Wang Yan, Li Xue, the three of us will go to the right."

"Everyone, please be careful! You must always keep yourself within the sight of your companions. It is best to travel in pairs."

After Yang Chen finished speaking, he put the map away, and looked at the other people solemnly: "There are a few taboos in Boss Chen's haunted house. You can't play with your phone, you can't act alone, and don't ask about marriage. These taboos were summarized by seniors, and I don't know the reasons for some of them, but there must be a reason for their existence. I hope everyone will keep them in mind and don't try."

Yang Chen's expression was very serious, and what he said made Wei Wu and Kong Xiangming a little confused.

The two teams began to search the classrooms on both sides. After they were far away, Wei Wu quietly walked to Kong Xiangming and said, "This haunted house makes me feel very uncomfortable. The taboos there are more weird than one."

"Stay away from me, let's pretend that we don't know each other. There are surveillance cameras in the haunted house, so be careful not to be seen." Kong Xiangming was very cautious. He pretended to look for the school badge.

"I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy." Wei Wu was looking for the school badge absentmindedly.

"Talk less, work more, and don't forget why we came here." Kong Xiangming lowered his head, with bloodshot eyes. He looked towards the exit from time to time: "Boss Chen should be here soon."
